i would... |

OpenGL & Multithreading

Hi all
I would like to load my textures and display lists in background within a separate thread. The OpenGL context is created in the main thread. But if I use any function to load textures or DLs, they all fail. This is probably because the cont... |

hi all

Terrain splatting
|
thank you for the approaches
i like the idea with texture coordinates, as i said, 8 detail textures are enough for my terrain. but using two alpha maps is also a good idea. but then i have 2 samplers used for the alpha values. i think the max text... |

OpenGL & Multithreading

i already used vbo's but did nothing with pbo. i'll try this with pbo's, i think this is a good way to solve the problem.
thx for your answers! |

OpenGL & Multithreading

well, the disk I/O is not the problem, this works finde. but if load (compile) a display list with a big object, this takes a few ms and if i do that in the main thread, the player would notice that. well, this i can solve with vbo, because initializ... |

Terrain: Triangles or TriangleStrips?
|
Quote:
Wrong. The best transform ratio (physically transformed vertices / triangles count) you can get with tri-strips is asymptotically near 1.00, whereas with tri-lists you could get the ratio down to 0,52.
well, i always read in books/articl... |

Terrain: Triangles or TriangleStrips?
|
ok, this would be an idea, but i don't like things like degenerated vertices. i'm porting my engine to XNA, so i don't know how XNA handles degenerated vertices.
thx for the approach |

[DB] Storing geometry
|
ok, as binary i think it will be faster as a string and the casting wouldn't be a problem. but when the data is in binary mode, it is not stored in a readable format. so, if want to analyse or modify the data in a db-admin tool, the string variant wo... |

[DB] Storing geometry
|
Well, the only reason to use a string for a vector or a matrix is a more readable SQL statement. like i wrote above, with a string i only have to write:
"SELECT matrix FROM GEOMETRY"
rather than
"SELECT matrix_11, matrix_12, matrix... |

Sending multiple paktes

yes, i read somithing like that, that multicasting only works on a LAN. well, in that case it's the only solution to send the same paket to each player.
thanks for your suggestions |

Sending multiple paktes

ok, i think that the UDP overhead isn't the problem. but whats about bandwidth? if, for example, there are 50 players around me, i have to send 50 times the same paket to each player. with multicast-groups, i would only send one paket, and... |
